Stand pensively about in companies,

While all around them from the motionless trees

The long clean shadows sleep without a sound.

Under cool elm-trees floats the distant stream,

Moveless as air; and o'er the vast warm earth

The fathomless daylight seems to stand and dream,

A liquid cool elixir—all its girth

Bound with faint haze, a frail transparency,

Whose lucid purple barely veils and fills

The utmost valleys and the thin last hills,
